CDW Corporation (NASDAQ:CDWC), a leading provider of technology products and services to business, government and education, was recently ranked No. 8 on the list of America's 500 largest e-retailers. CDW appears alongside other well-known companies like Amazon.com, Sears and OfficeMax in Internet Retailer's Top 500 Retail Web Sites Guide.

CDW is No. 8 on the list with $1.8 billion in annual online sales in 2005, which accounted for 28.5 percent of the company's total annual sales of information technology products and services. This is the second consecutive year that CDW has been ranked No. 8.

"Our online capabilities provide CDW customers the flexibility they need to order technology services and products easily, allowing them additional time to discuss more complex IT needs and solutions with CDW account managers," said Jonathan J. Stevens, Chief Information Officer, CDW. "Being ranked as a Top 10 e-retailer is a result of working hard to go beyond simply providing products with a sense of urgency."

CDW's Web site provides customers with a variety of features and customized extranet sites, called CDW@work, that allow them to order products and services online, as well as view their account information including purchases, order status, cost estimate quotes and purchase history. CDW also offers customers additional online features like the Software License Tracker, which helps them manage complex software licensing agreements and in turn better manage their IT systems.
